Metadata

  • Commit Message: fix(cli): render subplan_statuses in agents plan status output (rich and JSON)
  • Branch: fix/plan-status-missing-subplan-statuses

Background and Context

Feature Area: Subplans & Parallel Execution
Spec Reference: Spec §Plan Lifecycle: "Parent plan must track all subplan statuses." The Plan model has subplan_statuses: list[SubplanStatus] and has_subplans property. as_cli_dict() includes subplan_count when subplans exist.

When a parent plan spawns subplans, users need visibility into each subplan's status (ID, action name, processing state, errors, changeset summary) to monitor parallel child plan progress. Currently, agents plan status only shows a count integer — individual subplan states are invisible.

Expected Behavior

agents plan status <PLAN_ID> should display the status of each spawned subplan (subplan ID, action name, processing state, errors, changeset summary) so users can monitor parallel child plan progress. Specifically:

  • agents plan status <PLAN_ID> --format json must include a subplan_statuses array in the output.
  • agents plan status <PLAN_ID> (rich) must render a table or list of individual subplan states, not just a count.
  • Each SubplanStatus entry must show: status, error, changeset_summary, files_changed.

Actual Behavior

agents plan status calls _plan_spec_dict() which does NOT include subplan_statuses in its output. Plan.as_cli_dict() only includes subplan_count (a count integer) but not the individual SubplanStatus objects. Neither the Rich table renderer nor the JSON output for agents plan status shows individual subplan states, errors, or changeset summaries. Users cannot see which subplans succeeded, failed, or are pending.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a parent plan that spawns 3 subplans.
  2. Run agents plan execute <PLAN_ID>.
  3. Run agents plan status <PLAN_ID> --format json — observe subplan_statuses is absent from output.
  4. Run agents plan status <PLAN_ID> (rich) — observe only a count is shown, not individual statuses.

Source Evidence:

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py _plan_spec_dict(): No subplan_statuses key in the returned dict.
  • src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/plan.py as_cli_dict(): Only subplan_count is included, not the full subplan_statuses list.
  • src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/plan.py SubplanStatus model: Has status, error, changeset_summary, files_changed fields that are never rendered.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Plan.as_cli_dict() includes subplan_statuses as a list of dicts (with id, action_name, status, error, changeset_summary, files_changed) when has_subplans is True.
  • agents plan status <PLAN_ID> --format json output includes subplan_statuses array.
  • agents plan status <PLAN_ID> (rich) renders a table or list of individual subplan states.
  • Each subplan entry shows at minimum: subplan ID, action name, processing state, error (if any), files changed count.
  • BDD scenario in features/plan_status.feature (or equivalent) covers subplan status rendering in both rich and JSON modes.

Subtasks

  • Update Plan.as_cli_dict() to include subplan_statuses as a serialized list when has_subplans is True.
  • Update _plan_spec_dict() in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py to include subplan_statuses.
  • Update the rich renderer for agents plan status to display a subplan status table/list.
  • Update the JSON output path for agents plan status to include subplan_statuses.
  • Add or update BDD scenario in features/plan_status.feature to assert subplan statuses appear in both rich and JSON output.
  • Add unit tests for Plan.as_cli_dict() subplan serialization.

Definition of Done

This issue is closed when:

  • agents plan status <PLAN_ID> --format json includes subplan_statuses with per-subplan state details.
  • agents plan status <PLAN_ID> (rich) renders individual subplan states, not just a count.
  • All new and existing tests pass in CI.
  • The BDD scenario covering subplan status rendering passes.

HAL9000 added this to the v3.3.0 milestone 2026-04-14 08:50:09 +00:00

Triage: Verified [AUTO-OWNR-1]

Valid bug: agents plan status does not display subplan_statuses — parent plan subplan tracking is invisible to users. This is a core M4 deliverable gap.

Assigning to v3.3.0 (Corrections + Subplans + Checkpoints). Priority High — users cannot see subplan status, making parallel execution opaque.

MoSCoW: Must Have — subplan status visibility is essential for monitoring parallel plan execution.
